The National Comprehensive Condom Strategy emphasizes the simultaneous push for demand and supply-side strategies, to increase motivation, availability of, and ability to use condoms and lubricants, by addressing social and behavioural barriers. The strategy further stresses the need to strengthen the integration of a firm condom and lubricant focused behaviour change and skills-building component in HIV interventions, such as voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC), anti-retroviral therapy (ART), and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). The strategy also emphasizes opportunities to strengthen condom programming and provider-initiated condom and lubricant promotion within the broader STI, family planning and sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services.
